Moment of Surrender

I tied myself with wire

To let the horses run free

Playin' with the fire

Until the fire played with me

Yeah

And the stone was semi-precious

But we were barely conscious

Two souls too smart to be

In the realm of certainty

Even on our wedding day

Well, hey, hey

We set ourselves on fire

Woah, God could not deny her

And it's not if I believe in love

But if love believes in me

Come on and believe in me

At the moment of surrender

I folded to my knees

I did not notice the passers-by

And they did not notice me

I have been in every black hole

At the altar of the dark star

And my body's now a begging bowl

And it's begging to get back

Begging to get back to my heart

To the rhythm of my soul

To the rhythm of my unconsciousness

To the rhythm that yearns

To be released from control

And I was punching in the numbers

At the ATM machine

I could see in the reflection

A face staring back at me

At the moment of surrender

Of vision over visibility

I did not notice the passers-by

And they did not notice me

I was speeding on the subway

Through the stations of the cross

Every eye looking every other way

Counting down 'til the pain would stop

At the moment of surrender

I folded to my knees

I did not notice the passers-by

And they did not notice me
